To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its prestigious vintage cuvee, la Maison Ruinart commissioned dutch designer maarten baas to create art for the table.

Established in the year 1729, Champagne Ruinart, is acclaimed throughout the world as one of the oldest champagne houses. At the same time, it also shares a place among the most esteemed champagne houses of the world.

In celebration of Valentine’s Day (a century ago, I know !), Ruinart, offer an indulgent and frolicsome special edition duo gift box set called “My Sweeter Half” designed to encourage romantic rendezvous.

Presented in a stylish parcel, the duo gift box features two half bottles of Champagne Ruinart’s premium cuvès: Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, made in the pure and noble Ruinart tradition exclusively from the Chardonnay grape; and Ruinart Rosè with its fresh, distinctive, rose petal pink color.

Art and wine lovers will be mingling at the Maison Ruinart Champagne lounge at next month’s annual Art Basel Miami Beach art show.

Internationally acclaimed Dutch furniture designer and artist Maarten Baas will be selling one of his latest works of art—a “melting” centerpiece that turns any room into a Salvador Dalí painting!

Constructed from Murano glass, silver and bottles of Ruinart Champagne, Bouquet de Champagne de Dom Ruinart is inspired by an 18th century Venetian chandelier and is designed to appear as if the chandelier has fallen and is melting into the table, along with bottles of Dom Ruinart and specially designed flutes.

The piece will be offered for sale at $100,000.

(Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, exclusively producing champagne since 1729. Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the Champagne region in the city of Reims, the house is today owned by the parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.)
